DIE SYSTEM ANALYSIS

The Finite Element Analysis approach to die system design is an efficient way to predict and resolve many stamping related concerns within the die production line. Die System Analysis (DSA) simulations streamline die system design through the analysis of scrap shedding/removal, structural integrity and sheet metal transferring/handling. DSA’s process guidance approach allows engineers to use simple graphic interfaces to execute complicated preparation and simulation processes.

 

The menu of Die System Analysis illustrated in Figure 10.1 consists of Die Structural Integrity (DSI), Scrap Shedding Removal (SSR) and Sheet Metal Transfer Handling (SMTH). The detailed description of each module is given in the following sections.
